The U.S. Marshals Service and local law enforcement arrested Eric Hightower without incident Monday, April 29, on a variety of warrants.

Hightower, 31, of North St. Paul was seen on video being kicked by a St. Paul police officer last summer.

He was a no-show Wednesday for a pretrial hearing in Ramsey County Distrist Court on charges of stalking, terroristic threats and damage to property that came after his initial Aug. 28 arrest on allegations he threatened to kill a former girlfriend. A judge issued a warrant Wednesday.

Hightower also had warrants out for a probation violation and a charge of violating a domestic abuse no-contact order in April.

A tip led the U.S.

Marshals Service Northstar Fugitive Task Force to Brooklyn Center, where they arrested Hightower about noon. The agency said the task force is composed of marshals and local law enforcement who track down and arrest "dangerous fugitives." Additional St. Paul police officers and Ramsey County deputies assisted.

Hightower's arrest in August drew attention because a bystander recorded a video of it that eventually was posted on YouTube. It showed St. Paul officer Jesse Zilge delivering a kick to Hightower, who was on the ground. Police also are seen using other force.

Prosecutors looked into the officers' actions and declined to file charges against Zilge and another officer.
